Our Beloved Bow

Animals add a dimension to our lives that is special. We learn from them, we train them, we raise them, we feed them, we play with them, we milk some of them, we walk some of them, we hug some of them and, we will miss some of them. That is the case with Bow. She was with us from 8 weeks old until this past Sunday (she was just a little over 6 years old).
In my 19 year old daughter's words in an email to her Granny and others she said the following:
Bow - 12/22/03 - 1/24/10

Bow passed away on Sunday. She had been noticeably sick for a couple weeks and we had been taking her to the vet, giving her antibiotics for what we thought could be the problem, etc. She was going down hill on Saturday night and Sunday. We decided to take her to the Emergency vet on Sunday to take some X-ray's of her chest and abdomen- she had been having trouble breathing. As we were loading her up, she went. As far as what she died of, we are not sure. 
Upon doing a necropsy, we found her lungs and heart did not look normal at all. We are thinking maybe some type of cancer or something. She was 6 this past December. Words cannot express the sadness........my third loss in a year and a half.

Bullet Proof Coffee

 Why Bullet Proof Coffee?      Yes, caffeine is good for you! It is a known Nootropic (something that improves brain functioning). Consuming coffee this way usually takes care of any jitters some may experience. By adding a healthy fat the caffeine and MCT oil benefits can actually pass through and into the blood/brain barrier. Not All MCT Oils Are the Same      From the research I did a few years back, coconut oil contains MCTs (yep, Medium Chain Triglycerides).      There are 5 of them with fancy names but shorter names of C6, C8, C10, C12 and C14. The original scientist behind the Bullet Proof Coffee (BPC) theory has alot of info on his website at https://www.bulletproof.com/diet/bulletproof-diet/bulletproof-for-beginners /      In a nutshell, C8 is great for the brain. C10 is amazing for energy. Of course, all of them are good for you but by isolating the 2, you end up with an MCT oil that is for more specific things. The brain and energy - what most people want more of, haha.

Zucchini Marmalade

     I found this recipe one day as I was surfin' around the internet trying to come up with creative ways to use all of the 18" zucchinis that are coming out of the gardens around here. I'm not a big fan of cooked zuc so, I set out a recipe quest. Well, I'm the kind of person that will try to make salsa out of just about any fruit or veggie - last year we tried cucumber salsa, blueberry salsa and even blackberry salsa. This year, I found zucchini salsa (that's another post in the makes) and then turned up this recipe.      This stuff is the bomb! What a great recipe this is - it uses up those huge zukes that grow so easily in just about any home garden AND  it gets another veggie into the belly of it's eater. We made a few modifications to make it fit our liking. 12 Cups zucchini, grated finely (I don’t see why you couldn’t use yellow squash!) 9 Cups sugar 1 Cup apple cider vinegar 2 large cans crushed pineapple 3  3oz packages Jello, any flavor….strawb

Northeast Oklahoma Hay & Feed Coop

Hello all, We just started a Yahoo group called Northeast Oklahoma Hay & Feed Coop. It is a list for information of hay and feed available in the Northeastern Oklahoma area. It is also going to be sort of a "help" list of information regarding things livestock owners deal with and/or need help with , to name a few: disbudding services, shearing sheep & llamas, locat, good vets, breeding services - just to name a few. Please feel free to join even if you are in one of the states surrounding Northeast Oklahoma. Also, if you are in the area and know of a good place to get hay and/or feed, feel free to join and share the information, please, thank you! Every couple of months, or more often if need-be, we can order a big load of really nice Alfalfa/Grass square bales from a guy in Missouri. We have got hay from him before and it is great stuff. We don't have to feed alfalfa pellets or straight alfalfa hay anymore either and our milkers are doing great on it. It is
